> If you have any interest in taking a non-hysterical reaction...

What a lovely way to frame a statement and put down people who hold a multitude of opinions that you do not share.

The well has been poisoned by Sotomayor's dissent, and the headlines which come form it. I'm rebuffing a framing that many have taken who haven't listened to the oral arguments, havent read the judgement, and so on.

I don't take people who engage in this emotionally elevated reaction to the issue to have a different opinion, I take them to have no opinion at all -- because their reaction isn't an evaluation of the judgement.

All i'm saying is, "before you go ham on emotionally disregulation based on media reports, go read a few pages of the actual judgement

It's just civil rights and citizenship. Why can't they all be as detached and unimpacted as rich old guy Kavanaugh?

One can find an opinion at the ready but to be hysterical with opinions is a matter of distance.

You can not share his opinion but do not have to be hysterical like the talking heads in media.

As it turns out, the user appears to have been referring to Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor.
